9100 becomes 9105. Need some helps !!!!

[lxhxxnxxx]

Hi everyone. I have a serious problem.

My 9100 is now identify as 9105 no matter what OS I try to install in my 9100. It means that my keypad now works like a 9105 keypad. The rear button like del, (qw), (as), (zx) is totally disable. I know that some of you may like 9105, but It's really really big trouble for me. This is what I've done before this thing happens. (When I check the Device Version, it also says BlackbErry 9105 +_+.)

- You guys probably know about the Barracuda Hybrid OS for BB. I tried it. And the first time I tried, my 9100 is identify as 9105. I tried again, this time, succeedd.
- The next day my battery ran out, so my 9100 is force off. Then I can turn it on (stuck at BlackBerry screen and full progress bar forever).
- I tried to re-install some another (probably 10) OS. Here when the problem appeared. My 9100 became 9105.
- I've already tried the Hybrid OS again. But still cant fix the problem. And now it seems I run out of idea how to get my 9100 keypad back :'(.

Anyone has this kinda problem before. Really glad for any help.

Thanks. Sorry for my poor English

Try using BBSAK to wipe it first, then reinstall the OS.
Software-wise it seems to have reset itself, so try going back to square 2 (square 1 being installing the 9100's kb)

BBSAK, CrackUtil, vnBBUtils. I tried everything to wipe my device.
And It seems to me the Wipe-hand thing doesn't work. My device only restart without anything change, same OS (not to mention the application, since I didn't install any because my device is not back to normal yet).

PS : Mistake, the wipe did work I get the 507 error and re-install my OS. But then nothing fixed.

Try reverting to an older os. It's possible that RIM decided to block this hardware conversion. I hope they didn't, because then I'd be very dissappinted in rim.

I've already event tried OS5 bro(of course I used to use OS6).
There must be the way to do this hardware conversion. I've done it once ). Just don't know how to do it again

I just read another topic about changing kb between 9100 and 9105. It seems the membrane is what they use to identify these two device. Do I get it right?

[grahamf]

That is my assumption, as hardware-wise the removable keyboard is the only thing that is different.

10 os's a lot.hope you deleted each os on your pc/laptop before uploading each one onto your pearl.

Yeah, of course I did chetan. Never more than 1 OS installed on my pc at the same time.
I'll try to open the kb and the mb today, see if there's any damage which can cause this problem +_+.
Any other idea?

Problem solved. I opened the kb, mb, do some cleaning, and destroy the void the warranty too.
Thank you for all your help .
